Head of IT

About Our Client

Re-architecting U.S. healthcare demands speed, precision, and an obsession with details. The organization is building a remote care delivery system that keeps older people healthy, out of the hospital, and at home. By pairing each patient with a dedicated clinical team that reviews their health every day, versus every few months, issues are caught early and interventions occur before they escalate. The result: measurably better outcomes for patients and less administrative burden for clinicians.

Today, the organization supports tens of thousands of active patients nationwide. Its AI-powered system and scalable clinical model enable proactive, population-level care. The organization is among the fastest-growing companies in healthtech, and it’s just getting started.
